paign for our ticket-on it's merits,
and the merits of the party. lie the
Republicans of Jackson County will
vote the Republican ticket, the cleo
ton of that ticket is assured. That
is certainly an easy way to victory.
Think of it friends!
If there is one thing more than an
other that we have just gloated over,
it has been the high tone of journal
ism in Jackson. With the high stand
ing and large list of cash subscribers
of the Standard, we have felt friendly
toward the newspaper world, as well
as all the myriads of worlds. Victori-
Gus, triumphantly victorious, over
the miserable spawn of the doggeries
who have raised their weak voices
against US, we have felt charity for
them in their distress, and felt sure
that the high character and great in
tellectual development of the Jackson
press would command the admiration
of even as highly cultured and solid
people as the good people of Wellston.
But it seems that our rejoicings have
been premature, our hopes vague
and unsatisfactory, and even our pray
ers tainted with the gall of bitterness
Taking up one of our best exchanges,
the Wellston Argus, last week, our
scrutiny soon caught this graceful
paragraph:
''The Boom Department. Of the
jackson STANDARD, this week was a
daisy. John Mackley is successful as
a paragrapher, humorist and a poet,
and we wish the Standard the pros
perity it deserves
Wind Valley Railway stock rose
thirty per cent, when we read it, and
we could hear in the dim, shadowy
distance, the flying engines toot the
glory of Jackson. But it seems we
were travelling backward When we
were small boy we had a habit of
swallowing the fat meat first, and keep
ingthe pie for comfortable finish. But
this time the order seemed reversed.
On further reading our hopes were
blasted by the following, in the Argus,
and, we may add, signed by as good
men as live in Jackson or any other
County.
A CONTEMPTIBLE LIE!
The statement made by the Jackson
Journal in its last issue, that E. L.
Harper was the financial hacker of
the Wellston National Bank" is ut
terly false. 1t was made up to injure
this Bank and Wellston's enterprises,
there could be no other reason, and
the malice and meanness uncovered
by it is beyond comparison.
Mr. Harper has small amount OF
stock in this Bank and there his con-
nection with it ends. His failure in
no way embarrasses or compromises
us. On behalf Of all concerned, we
say personally to the public, that the
statement Of the Journal is a deliber-
ate, malicious lie.

AS these good people nearly all take
the Standard and Argus, their Re-
publicanism will continue of that good
solid kind that thrives in good homes
and sober business circles. But you
are hasty, friends! You ought to give
us a chance. Well know more
when we get more sense. True, we
made run on your Bank, injured the
credit of your city, pehaps, and did
great injustice to your business men.
But we only wanted to make you feel
'the power of the press" The old
fogy ideas found in the Standard,
and the Sermon on the Mount, are OBJ
solete. The old Standard has been
killed, and the old Bible buried in a
beer barrel, and now we give you the
new school of aggressive, boom jour-
nalism, and you are not pleased.
Woe is me!
We feel like saying, to the credit of
the Democracy of Jackson County,
